Professional Tree Removal Services in Marietta & North Georgia

Permit requirements vary by city and county. In Marietta, permits are typically required for trees over 8 inches in diameter. Kennesaw, Roswell, and other municipalities have their own regulations. VMG Tree Care handles all permit applications for you and ensures compliance with local ordinances. We're familiar with requirements throughout our service area.

For true emergencies (trees blocking roads, on structures, or creating immediate danger), we typically respond within 2-4 hours during business hours and within 6-8 hours after hours. During major storms, response times may be longer due to high demand, but we prioritize the most dangerous situations first.

Our specialized equipment is designed to minimize ground impact. We use protective mats, lightweight machinery, and careful planning to protect your lawn and landscaping. Any minor damage is typically repaired as part of our cleanup process. We'll discuss protection strategies during your free estimate.

Our complete service includes: safe tree removal using proper techniques, stump grinding to 6 inches below ground level, debris hauling and disposal, site cleanup, and restoration of disturbed areas. We also provide wood chips if you'd like them for landscaping. Additional services like soil restoration can be arranged.

Often, yes! Our ISA Certified Arborists are trained to evaluate whether trees can be saved through pruning, disease treatment, or other interventions. We only recommend removal when it's truly necessary for safety or when the tree is beyond treatment. We're committed to preserving healthy trees whenever possible.

Trees near power lines require special procedures. We coordinate with Georgia Power when necessary and use specialized techniques to safely remove trees without disrupting electrical service. Our crew is trained in electrical hazard awareness and follows strict safety protocols. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself.

Several factors influence pricing: tree size and species, proximity to structures, access difficulty, emergency vs. scheduled removal, local permit fees, and cleanup requirements. Diseased or storm-damaged trees may cost more due to increased hazards. We provide detailed, transparent estimates with no hidden fees.

We work with customers to find payment solutions that fit their budget. For larger projects, we can discuss payment plans or financing options. Emergency removals for safety reasons are our priority regardless of payment concerns - we'll work with you to find a solution.
